[quote="Jersey Dad"][b]Change the "range" of potential units at the Route 130 D Site [/b]

[b][u]Why should we change the range?[/u][/b]
* In the 2005 Plan, the range for Rt. 130 D was 29-48 units. 
* 48 is 12 units per acre, an unprecedented density for CHA. 
* 29 [i]was[/i] the minimum required without buying more property, according to the old rules. 
* The rules have changed. We must buy more property, anyway. 
Therefore, we have the opportunity to change the range at the Rt. 130 "D" Site [b]to be consistent with other CHA developments[/b].

[b][u]What should the range be? Why?[/u][/b]
The range for the Rt. 130 “D” Site should be [b]“up to 29 units” [/b]because… 
1. Consistent with other CHA Developments 
2. Meets the needs of the Township 
3. Amenable to the neighbors

[u]Consistent with Other CHA Developments[/u]
* CHA developments range from 16-24 units
* The average CHA development is 19 units
* The largest is 24 units (Bergen Drive, 3.6 acres) 
* The average CHA density is 7 units per acre
* The Rt. 130 "D" Site is 4 acres (28 units at average density) 
[b]* A range consistent with other CHA developments is 16 – 28 units[/b]

[u]Meets the needs of the Township[/u] 
* The Township is currently required to build some number of units prior to 2011 or 2012, to show progress to COAH
* The current estimated requirement is roughly 23 units
* “Up to 29 Units” allows Cranbury the flexibility to show progress to COAH

[u]Amenable to the Neighbors [/u] 
* 75% of households in Cranbury Estates signed a petition stating they are "amenable to up to 29 units" 
* The petition is posted on this site and at [url]http://www.petitiononline.com/rt130d/petition.html[/url]
* The petition is reasonable and consistent with positions taken by the Township

The Planning Board has the authority and the opportunity to recommend a range that is consistent with the other CHA developments, meets the needs of the Township and honors the petition supported by the neighbors in Cranbury Estates.

[b]On November 20th, please ask the Planning Board to change the range "up to 29 units!"[/b][/quote]
